Orioles' Yennier Cano: Takes loss Saturday
Cano (4-3) allowed two runs (one earned) on two hits and struck out two in one inning, taking the extra-inning loss versus the Tigers on Saturday.
Cano faltered in the 10th inning, allowing a run on a single and another on a sacrifice fly. He had not given up multiple runs in any appearance since June 25. The setup man now has a 2.84 ERA, though his 1.26 WHIP and 63:21 K:BB over 57 innings are not as strong. He's also collected five saves, three blown saves and 33 holds across 66 appearances this season.

Justin Turner DH | CHC
Mariners' Justin Turner: In Sunday's lineup
Turner (knee) will start at first base and bat fifth Sunday against the Rangers.
Turner fouled a ball off his knee Saturday and was forced to leave the game, but apparently it's not bad enough to cost him a start. As he approaches his 40th birthday in November, Turner's MLB future is uncertain, but he's shown signs of life with a .303/.398/.494 batting line and four homers in his last 26 games for Seattle.

Tigers' Casey Mize: Available in relief Sunday
Tigers manager A.J. Hinch said that Mize will be available in relief Sunday in Baltimore but will likely receive another traditional start during the upcoming week, possibly against the White Sox, Chris McCosky of The Detroit News reports.
Sunday is Mize's turn in the rotation, but the Tigers will go with an opener in Tyler Holton, with Mize or Ty Madden expected to come in after Holton in bulk relief. All 20 of Mize's appearances so far this season have been starts.
